NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

[CX] The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the
requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 defers to
the ISO C standard.

The call:

rewind(stream)

shall be equivalent to:

(void) fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET)

except that rewind() shall also clear the error indicator.

[CX]
Since rewind() does not return a value, an application wishing to detect errors should clear errno, then call
rewind(), and if errno is non-zero, assume an error has occurred.

RETURN VALUE

The rewind() function shall not return a value.

ERRORS

[CX]
Refer to fseek() with the exception of [EINVAL] which does not apply.
